Thats sad to hear. I still have it on my backlog.

With that said, alot of people said terrible things about SO4 and i enjoyed that.

The whole problem with this series was SO3, wich destroyed the continuity and their insistance in making prequals when they know they have been ruined by the plot of SO3. Both SO4 and SO5 are meaningless stories. While it was enjoyable to play 4 aswell and i am yet to play 5.
They have to fix the mess they made with SO3. The series will never recover while that is a thing.

 

With that said, i hope the series continues, because i like sci-fi RPG's (even if mixed with some fantasy).

SO4 issues I think come from mainly the 360 version. It's multiple discs and it's set up so poorly. In JRPGs of the past some big event would happen to trigger a disc change. SO4 you would just be walking and suddenly triggered to change discs. You do and walk 5 feet backwards and triggered to change discs again. 360 was much more popular than pS3 at that time so how most people experienced the game. So now people often say play the international version on PS3. In a way it's like how people hated Bayonetta but only because they played it on PS3.
